Our First Week of Summer

Here's what we've been doing so far with our "summer" (quotes because the weather hasn't exactly been summerlike)
First we had to buy a new microwave after the one we've had since I moved out of my parents (12 years ago!) finally died. This was part of the packaging and the boys thought it made a good frame.Friday night we went to an outdoor movie sponsored by a local radio station. Unfortunately we weren't quite adjusted to summer bedtime and only made it through about half of Madagascar 2. Still had fun, though. Joey had his first campout as a Wolf over the weekend. It was a bust because of the yucky rainy weather.
I got to babysit Charlie again. He likes our rocker (and watching TV. Don't tell his Mommy).
Sunday we went up to the drive-in theater in Jefferson, Wisconsin to see UP and Night at the Museum. There was some adventure involved including hitting the speaker pole and scary thunderstorms, but the movies were good and we were glad we did it. After getting home at 2, and then Joey having his last hour of school Monday morning, Monday was a rest day.
Tuesday the library hosted a Wizard of Oz puppet show. The boys loved it and are now asking for their own marionettes.Tuesday night Joey's cub scout pack raced rocket cars in the VFW parking lot. Yay for big bangs and fast cars.


In between turns he played rock, paper, scissors with his buddies.
Ben ran around the parking lot until he got tripped and skinned his knee. He was out of commission and quite peeved with the boy who ran into him for the rest of the evening.
Wednesday I had a hair appointment and then an appointment at work, but we made it to Imagination Station at Sinnissippi only a few minutes late to see T Texas Terry and his wild west show. We plan to try to make it to these every Wednesday.
Today was scrap day with the girls. I tried taking pictures of the pages I made, because I had a very productive day, but it didn't really work out. You'll have to come to my house to see all my creativity. I will say that I love love my cricut. I also got some clothes shopping in before scrapping and really just had a great day. Thanks Sarah and Jacque!
